It's thriller without the MJ licence

I never had it on my 64, but I played Elite 2 a lot when I got an Amiga

Damn, I never beat that game as a kid 'cause I got confused by the controls. I should reinstall the emulator.

I didn't get the "lights off" feature?!?

Love your videos mate! Spot on commentary makes me smile :) Great game too - need to give it... a shot ;D Really like character animations. Thank you for cool videos!

Your metaphors are hilarious as well as on-point. I swear, it always makes these videos so entertaining even for the cruddiest of games!

Just came home from a screening of THEM! (1954) at the local arthouse. Realized I needed to fire up my old Amiga and play this favorite from my youth yet again.

Those graphics are fantastic for its time period

I say that there are giant ants (made large by aliens) way out there in the distance, waiting to attack! Brrr :)

Haha 😄 that game is terrible 😂 🤣

Damn shit covered walls wasting all the ammo 🤣

Animation of the hero is great. Music is on of the best tunes composed by human. Who cares about the gameplay!&?!?

I've never seen this one. I've seen games with moving crosshairs that attempt to simulate unsteady aim... but this looks a bit much. Those kind of scenes in games would often frustrate me... but I'd go out of my mind playing an entire game with it that does it to this degree. I'd probably play it once for a while... then move on to something else. Just like you said in your video. I have to admit. It's kinda funny at 1:54. He gets shot dead... then gets back up just to show you a "game over" sign. 😆

Funny that they chose to allow the player to turn off lives, but no way to turn off cross-hair drift. I remember playing some "shooting gallery" style games on the PC a few years after this came out, and despite offering the far more lenient and accurate mouse as a controller, none of them chose to implement a wandering crosshair. It also seems like, given the colors chosen for the "hero" sprite, they missed an obvious opportunity to make the whole game black and white. Still, the art and animation is appealing.

Had this back in the day but got bored of it after 20 mins.

Supposedly, this game was compatible with various light guns for C64, but only on CRT screen of course. I never tried that tho.

Looks nice. Probably a few extra levels were needed for some variety.

Shoot Out have the same high score name writer as Rambo First Blood Part II. There it is a helmet though.

You're weak in Shoot Out, just admit it. Hehe. ;]

Not seen this before, cool graphics

I don't know about this one, there are many better western themed games out there. Try Wild Gunman, it's like this but much better and you use a light gun. (I know it's NES, but it's the first game that came to mind.)

oh i remember this, the dude shouts out "poika!", if you picked up the wrong paint, so you started to scribble up a map and a glossary of what works where, didnt know crap about paint, think i was like 6 when i played this, but you knew it was not correct paint , manual would have helped but pirated games 😹

I'd say the graphics are pretty nice for it's time. I mean compare to anything on the C64 from 1983 or so and it looks amazing.

I thought this would be more of a CABAL type game. too bad it wasn't the case

I think the graphics are pretty good.

Very nice

Graphically, SHOOT-OUT looks retrospectively nice 😸👍. And the music 🎵🎶 sounds cool 😺👍. But the controlling 🕹️ seems frustratingly difficult 😹. I rather play WEST BANK from Gremlin Graphics on my Commodore 64 😺👍🕹️. I could also play BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW from Tynesoft on my Amiga 500 😹😺👍🕹️.

Another mental 64 game which with patience it was quite a good game lots of swearing from the start which gradually faded as the game went on and not repetitive as some games

This channel is great!

I had this game, at the age of 11/12. I never got it or understood it. Gave up after keep being chased in the cemetery. It was truly awful!

Good fun, this is one I had not come across before. Sort of The Last V8 meets Bristles.

This actually looks pretty good by the standards of 1986.

These commercials were my big favourites when I was a child. Have to say that this older man in adverts wasn´t his dad, althought I thought it as well, he is more like a older painting master and boss of their painting company. In Finland there´s is an one funny phrase from these commercials "Poika, se on kalkkuna (Hey boy, it´s a turkey) In one advert he almost painted a turkey instead of house and his boss says that phrase to him.

It's not that strange of an idea for a game. After all, Bristles was a similar idea, published three years earlier. Then there's Poster Paster, where you put up posters, Hover Bovver, where you mow lawns, etc.

I don't think the ten year old me had the clearest idea what paint to select either. I did like the game at the time though... (it springs to mind that the game manual may have had hints on what paints to select as kind of copy protection. Of course, my copy of the game didn't include the manual)

"Nothing says romance like freshly painted walls!" I'd venture many husbands roped into repainting the house at their wives' request would have a more cynical view 😆

Played this a alot back in the days. Tv commercials were cult too😊. Sadly Poika! the young painter guy is not with us anymore. He became football specialist to sport studios. Good memories and that music still brings nostalgia ❤ Poika! Mömömömömöm (car sound)

Virtual house painting... lawn mowing simulators... you'd think that they sound like work. ;) But surprisingly fun... surprisingly :D But real life lawn care and painting suck ;)

It's interesting to see something to come outta Finland besides death metal

brilliant video and very interesting

One of my all time favourite games, love it

This is truly a finnish legend! The adverts were a product of the time; very tongue in cheek and comical. The old man is a painting master and though "poika" can mean 'son', it can also be translated 'boy' - the impression is that they might be father and son, but clearly the boy is an apprentice. Calling him "poika" is condescending and it was a common custom that the older professional, "mestari" (master) would call the younger apprentice "poika", though the apprentice might already be well into adulthood. Do this today in a workplace and you'll be asking for trouble 😂 There was many of these adverts, in one advert the master is explaining what paint to use and why while the boy is flirting with a girl who lives in the house. The master sees this and straight up says "boy, stop fooling around". This theme continues in the game, you must avoid the girl! The common theme in the adverts was the master explaining about the paints and the boy getting distracted. I was a child in the 80's and only saw the adverts as comical, but I think there was a bit of a controversy around them; although they were in a way innocent, they did have this patronizing master and the whole master-apprentice setting was old fashioned even at the time. Tikkurila did drop the advert theme after a while, but I think there was a general discussion about adverts at the time, there was a lot of sexism and attitudes that did annoy viewers. I have some memory that these adverts got negative attention also, though they were liked too. The advert campaign was getting a lot of air time, so it wasn't a small campaign, I guess making it into a game shows that. Anyway I remember playing the game a lot with my older brothers. I was amazed by the sample "poika" and though it was not the first game to have a speech sample in it, it was the first time I understood what was being said. The game felt like the adverts with the tongue in cheek finnish humor, but I remember playing it a lot more than one would expect of an advert game. I still feel the game had no right to be so good, there were a lot of worse games out there that I had much higher expectations of. This one came out of nowhere and proved that finnish games can be good and a painting game can be much more fun than one would expect. Of course the game was silly, but it was playable and at times even entertaining and even challenging! I think that 4/5 review is actually accurate.

If you are interested to try few C64 games from Finland, try "The Odyssey", "Joe the Whizz Kid", "Sanxion", "Delta" and "Quedex" made by Stavros Fasoulas.
